📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

5. Gently fold in the grated zucchini, grated carrot, and chopped nuts (if using). Ensure the mixture is evenly incorporated but avoid overmixing.

6. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

8. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Serve and enjoy! These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerated for up to a week.
